I contest this deletion as it is not blatant advertising, it is a homage to a talented and unsung artist, Ken Cozens. There is no biography of him and his works on Wikipedia and I believe this should be corrected. As such I have submitted this article numerous times to allow others to find the name Ken Cozens and be intereted in learning more about him. In essence it is a tribute and obiturary.

A tag has been placed on Ken cozens, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 18:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * In response to your comment at the top of the page: Wikipedia is not for memorials and tributes. Articles need to be about notable, verifiable topics and written from a neutral point of view. Right now the article reads like a promotional piece for his work and post-death exhibitions. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 19:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
